Christie is the founder and managing partner for The Boulder Center for Play Therapy. BCPT provides a unique, strength based, play-filled therapeutic environment for children, adolescents, couples, families and adults. Play therapy isn’t all about toys & games but rather approaching yourself gently (vs. working really hard on yourself) because the openness of play builds trust in one’s self, reduces stress, encourages communication, supports learning, promotes creative problem solving, and elevates mood.

Arvada Therapy Solutions, LLC provides a strength-based and collaborative approach while working with children(4-11yrs), adolescents, adults, and families. After working in hospital and agency settings, I began my private practice in 2011. I am trained in directive and non-directive play therapy as well as Trauma Focused CBT, CBT, DBT, and ACT. I also provide supervision and internship opportunities for Master's level clinicians and although not required in Colorado, I am working on becoming an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), which will be completed in 2017. The interns at my office provide counseling on a sliding scale based on income, to prevent finances from being a barrier to receiving care.

I have also just launched my business consulting and business workshops designed to help clinicians start and build a private practice.

I guide people ready to make a soul-centered career shift.
